Jason Kenny took the hard route through, but qualified for this evening’s
semi-finals of the keirin at the Track World Championships in Belarus.

Kenny has strong medal chances in this event, though he will not have helped
himself by requiring an extra race to make it through qualifying. In the
first round this afternoon, Kenny was badly positioned in the bunch and
failed to qualify as one of the first two finishers.

He therefore had to ride in the repechage round, and though he managed to win
that by controlling it from the front, he nevertheless goes into this
evening
